Adults with a Healthy Body Weight

County: Maui
Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the percentage of adults aged 18 years and older with a body mass index between 18.5 and 25. According to guidelines from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a BMI of less than 18.5 is considered underweight, a range of 18.5 to 24.9 is deemed normal, 25.0 to 29.9 is regarded as overweight, and a BMI of 30 or more is considered obese.

Why is this important?

Maintaining a healthy body weight decreases one’s risk for disease and premature death.  Being overweight or obese substantially increases the risk for coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, some forms of cancer, and certain musculoskeletal disorders, such as osteoarthritis. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, one in three American adults is obese and two in three are either overweight or obese.
